Anti Spam Filter

[wolfbunny]

Dear Sirs
I really find this anti spam filter difficult to grasp as I'm not a regular user I don't wish to trawl thru thousands of posts. I as a user like to use the search option to pinpoint exactly what I'm looking for but this site doesn't allow me to do that with any comfort because of the worse anti spam filter I have ever had the mispleasure of experiencing. The photos are so poor in quality that the images just blend into mush!! And some of the photos are so small you'd need a magnifying glass to see them!
While I understand the need for these things surely a little investment in time to fix this joke is well past due?
Thanks for your time and now if I can only get past your antispam filter you'll receive this note
Kind Regards
Paul


14th try It really is guess work!
And so it ticks over never had any complaints about this I wonder why because no one can get past your bloody crap anti spam filter! and they give up in disgust!

Yep well not me after 15 attempts to send a private message to you about the anti spam filter I have to resort to sending it to you in this forum and making it a public rant!

The bot-protection uses keycaptcha (www.keycaptcha.com/ ) images, and it's a better solution than many (I've learned to hate the recaptcha ones). After you've made a certain number of posts, you'll find you don't need to complete a spam test.

For me, in IE (not logged in, no Adblock or Noscript or Cookie Crusher or Ghostery extensions), the images come across as about 460x190px (the original size of the image below, not the thumbnailed size).
